If you thought all the trouble that needs to be taken for fashion is only for women and by women, you have got a lot more thinking to do. Men have stepped into the world of fashion long ago. Yes, long before Sean Connery and Elvis Presley, men were known for their good looks and impeccable dress sense. It did not merely come of wanting to be like women, but more because they also cared about looking good, thereby getting attention, thereby feeling good about themselves. We have all heard of the male ego, and how it can be stroked by a well-placed compliment, and there is no man, or woman for that matter, who would not like to receive a sincere compliment for being dressed to the nines. Thankfully there are a lot of things that men and women can do consciously to bring up their appeal and make themselves look well-groomed if not good looking. And no one should let go of such opportunities. It is well known that better dressed people get paid better and have more friends, leading to happier lives.

But it has to be admitted that men do not have a provision to wear as many accessories as do women. Or, put in another way, men do no wear as much jewelry as women can. They can accessorize in other ways, such as through belts, cummerbunds, ties, cuff links, shoes and watches. And given that there are so few accessories permissible on a normal day one cannot wear a cummerbund every day. Neither is it very common to see men wearing hats or caps in todays time it is almost imminent for men to use all that they can in terms of accessories to make a suave impression. Wearing watches as part of daily dress is common in most cultures and countries and consequently mens watches have developed and reached great heights in quality and fashion sense.

Now that men have a way of expressing their taste and creativity, it is noticeable how much they ponder and choose while selecting a really good watch for themselves. And it is really no wonder that men are careful of the watches they wear and all the thought they put into buying one. Nowadays, it is common for a man to have more than one watch. One for formal events in basic black or brown, a metallic gold or silver one which is slightly dressier but still formal, and the others which are sporty or casual according to his taste are likely already on his list. Some of watches coming from designer houses have many features built into them and are bold to downright nerdy. There are even watches that tick backwards, in the counter-clockwise direction. There is nothing man has left unexplored. You can find watches that have monochrome dials with little detailing, dials with subtle basic colors that are very simple or the ones with lots of detailing and even an occasional gemstone studded into it.

The strap of the watch can be made of leather, if the man is the classic kind of guy. But if he is one who likes to explore and look for interesting variations, there are watches available in a range of metals –ranging from silver to pure gold, with a lot of choices of alloys in between. For a man, the value for money spent on a watch comes from the functionality as well as from the looks. There are some who look for special features like planners, programmable facilities, timers and stopwatches. Aviation and Navigation professionals have requirements which are fulfilled only by watches designed specifically for them. All these are collectibles, along with the more esoteric ones which show the phases of the moon, or indicate the prayer times according to the holy dictates of Islam.

There are several limited edition watches which come from designer watchmakers which have specific functions served by them. They offer amazing functionality in some aspect and are truly invaluable to the men who research and buy them with that purpose in mind. There are watches with Bluetooth connectivity which can act as tools for data transfer. There are others which are even useful for satellite navigation. The choices are virtually limitless in watches!

There may still be a chill in the air and it’s not quite shorts and t-shirt weather yet but the daffodils are almost out, the days are getting longer and the smell of spring is well and truly here.

It’s about now that any fashion savvy fashionista has one thing and one thing only on their minds……their summer wardrobe. London Fashion Week has been prompting people to think about fashion and clothing after the long, dark winter and all the fashion magazines are beginning to feature summer fashion tips and advice.

As much as any fashionista loves wearing boots and let’s face it, there were stunning ones around this winter, it has been long since many have seen their toes! It’s been too cold to have toes uncovered for any longer than it takes to have a shower and thick socks have ruled.

Footwear is an excellent place to start when first thinking of a summer wardrobe. The summer styles are in all the shops both on the high street and online, the styles are fresh and the full range of sizes are available so no disappointment. Close your eyes and think of sandals, holidays and sand between your toes! And think about all the festivals coming up. The UK does see its fair share of rain at these events so take your Hunter Wellies but also your sandals.

A staple of any fashion savvy individual and a firm favourite amongst the festival fraternity is a pair of Birkenstock’s. The word timeless doesn’t even begin to describe Birkenstock footwear. Established in the 18th century in Germany, Birkenstock Sandals have certainly been around for a while. Birkenstock Sandals was founded by Johann Adam Birkenstock of Langenberg, Germany. Birkenstock Sandals are still producing great quality sandals and shoes today. Birkenstock Sandals started off with the Birkenstock family making sandals and shoes with special foot bed insoles. The merits of these insoles were such that during World War I, Birkenstock were hired by the military hospital orthopaedic departments to provide specialist footwear for wounded soldiers. From then on Birkenstock sandals and shoes started to become extremely popular with the demand for Birkenstock leading to the brand to expand. In proceeding years, Birkenstock patented their signature foot bed in many countries. Birkenstock have gone on to further develop the orthopaedic foot beds and introduce new styles and nurture classics. Birkenstock are synonymous with their quality craftsmanship and high grade materials.

A far more recent brand but one experiencing huge popularity is Crocs. Crocs are known for their unbelievable comfort with the Crocs Cayman being the original and most popular style. As with many brands, new and innovative styles are being launched each season whilst keeping the ethos of the Crocs brand of letting your feet bend easily and expand naturally for maximum comfort.
 
In terms of both womens sandals and mens sandals, the rise in comfort footwear is very much welcome. The summer is chilled out and about having fun so sandals such as from Birkenstock and Crocs give that chilled vibe.

Filtering of the line, the best of street fashion clothing designer’s men took up the vibe – Bench clothing, G-star jeans, Henleys, Superdry and the rest. And all these designer clothes for men came from the same basic idea: variations on a theme to try to work hard. But this is not just luck. Historically, fashion has always followed the economy. In the mid-nineteenth century at the height of the gold rush California, weaving hickory-shirts became popular because of their durability under very difficult working conditions for those who cannot always’ s expect high finance returns. And almost on denim hickory is favored for similar properties. Used in overalls and jeans everywhere today, it was first developed in the sixteenth century Genoa by a French family who came from the city of Nimes, where in English “de Nimes” became “denim” and “Blue Genes” became “blue jeans”. The fabric was made because the poor merchant seamen wear his favorite disc double crossover construction. Before 1939, most silk came from Japan, but after Pearl Harbor, silk has been interrupted and nylon was developed as a cheaper alternative vital. Today, the nylon is an integral part of all types of clothing on the street jackets to the ubiquitous, always very low. But if we talk about ‘looks’ as opposed to fabric, the new theme of the winter is at least reassuring step in the direction away from metro sexual tendencies who feel very suddenly, as if they belong to a different economic era, as the surge in sales of tights for men, or rush Beckham skirts. It is a reminder that in times of financial downturn, we need to insulate against the cold to come, and maintain a positive spirit, zip-conscious outlook.
